I'd like to take a moment to say thank you to all my WS friends. I have been glued to jury selection this week (much to the dismay of family) and have so enjoyed the sense of family on the daily hearing threads.
I have had the pleasure of meeting another WS member in person, and have had an opportunity to talk to several others directly. I hope that at some point I am able to meet more of you.
Never in a million years would I have imagined that following this case would afford an opportunity to "meet" so many from so many corners of this earth.
I wince as I hear the DT use the term bloggers (because that is an incorrect categorization at best) because I have seen bloggers :innocent: ....nope not us.
I have seen other forums...:slapfight: and their grade school drama and x-rated insults.
I have seen attention hounds, 15 minutes of fame seekers, and other general :loser: types.
I remember about a year ago......some folks left.....and some just wouldn't leave :waitasec: but what we have today is nothing short of a family.
There are some folks that I'd love to see pop by again.....but all in all....I feel like I am sitting in my living room having a grand old time.
This case drew me in because I am a parent and was on my way through Orlando on my way to vacation when the story broke....
Early on the sleuthing kept me interested...later with discovery I enjoyed cross referencing stories and reports....now I enjoy seeing the legal process in action.
Justice for Caylee??? YES, I can't wait to see it.
In the meantime.....being with friends is a good substitute.
THank you for being such a varied, crazy, organized, intelligent, polite, energizing, and fun group.
CM may not be having fun yet...but I sure am.
